“For the best part the property was o.”

K.,but there were some issue's,such as the windows could do with a good clean as this ruined a wonderful view,although it could be the double glazing is old and blown and the problem is between the glass,which ever the problem needs adressing.Also although not visible there seems to be an ongoing problem with damp as the smell is quite noticeable at times even in the cups in the kitchen cupboards.

“We had a lovely stay here the only down side was the springs could be felt in the double bed matters.”

Apart from that it was a super place to stay with many places close enough to visit.

Mr PrevelSeptember 2018

“The double bed, although exceptionally clean had springs which had failed and the mattress needs changing to the extent that we switched to the twin room for comfort after the second night.”

A pair of oven gloves would also have been useful in the kitchen.

“There were a couple of things that we reported.”

One was sorted no problem and the other was never fixed
The dog was stung by a wasp and the nest was just outside the back near the balcony. That was dealt with quickly and efficiently.
The other was one of the single beds was wet, not damp, wet. This was also reported but never fixed so the downstairs smelt damp for the entire week. I was very disappointed that we had to put up with that. Also that if we had of had 4 people one person wouldn’t have had a bed to sleep in!
The upstairs was fantastic. the view was excellent and the equipment provided was brilliant.
Overall the property was acceptable. T

“Fantastic accommodation great location.”

2nd year running and we'll be back again.

“What a lovely accommodation!”

The location was perfect for traveling around even though the locals of Cornwall
like to drive around on narrow roads with blind bends at maximum speed. Everything in the property you need was there
and the views were beautiful. The local pub The Carpenters Arms near Norris Green, served good food and were very
friendly.

“We stayed at St.”

Annes 27 Honicombe Manor Callington Cornwall
The inside of the accommodation was faultless everything you needed for a self catering holiday.
Unfortunately it could not be said about the balcony area and front entrance.The balcony had seen better days and was not really a pleasure to sit out there.
Front entrance needed a good clean up I:e grassy areas.The outside did not reflect what was inside.

“I would definitely recommend this to all my friends.”

The cottage was very nice,comfortable and clean.

“The place was clean and well stocked, the bed was comfortable and there was a useful information sheet included with the property.”

It was easy to book, reasonably priced and gave us a fabulous base to enjoy our honeymoon. Thank you!

“I cannot see the ratings for the above 4 questions, so I have selected what I am guessing is 'good', and then 'very good' for facilities.”

We would most definitely recommend this property and Honicombe Manor, for good value, location, comfort & facilities on the site. All very good.
The house was great - my daughter loved it and would like us to get a house like it! Upstairs open plan living/dining/kitchen was very nice. This particular property, No 27 is a great one as it benefits from an open aspect across fields at the rear from the large window/balcony, this was lovely with trees up the bank very near and the birds happily singing! All was clean, well equipped, simple to use, nice and comfortable, very spacious living accommodation. Nice to find DVD's, puzzles and books in the house too.
The pool was really nice, food in the restaurant was nice, all staff were really nice & friendly, we did an archery session which was fun and good value. We could have made more use of the facilities than we did - played tennis once, wish we had every day, there was never anyone on the court, facilities card includes access to gym, there are a couple of therapists you can book massage and other treatments with too. Games room was well equipped.
Slight negatives (feedback really, wouldn't stop us recommending): The mattresses in the twin room were not very comfortable - they were a bit lumpy/'springy', the water pressure was low for showers, there was no shared garden outside space immediately beyond the property (which from the description I had thought there was - there is a grass area a short walk away though), parking was pretty tricky outside the property several times - ie. there are enough spaces for the number of properties in that little enclave. There were places to park in a different section that was not a lot further away, so it was not too much of a problem. One more definite point about that and the property description though, the property is down a bank and so access is via a number of steps and a path - so wherever you manage to park, it would not be good for anyone with mobility issues, perhaps older guests etc, everything has to be carried up and down steps - this was not mentioned in the property description.

“Although there were parts of the Holiday Park & cottage that were a little tired (the balcony decking is rotting), the overall appearance & cleanliness of the cottage was very good.”

It had clearly been recently painted & carpets were new. The use of the pool really added to the enjoyment of our family holiday. Overall the cottage was comfortable, although in the double bed the springs could be felt which made it uncomfortable - perhaps this is because we have both had bad backs and are sensitive in this area. A thoroughly brilliant base for a holiday at very reasonable prices. Many thanks

“We had a wonderful time the accommodation was amazing so clean & a fabulous view to wake up to even when it’s raining .”

Exceptionally well equipped best we have stayed in in regards to self catering . The only 4 things for myself that would have been benificial was I found the mattress in the double room very uncomfortable , and standing at 5ft I was unable to reach the top of the Cubbard’s in the kitchen so a set of kitchen steps or a hop up would be very useful , WiFi would be useful in the property , also I was not aware that the swimming pool was not free to use . None of the above would stop us from recommending this property to anyone & we would highly recommend it to our friends & family it is just a personal opinion that would have made our stay more than perfect .We found The accommodation very well laid out & decoration was of a high standard very comfortable warm & Homely & will definitely be back to stay in future . The grounds & surrounding area are lovely there are some beautiful walks & high quality palaces to eat including on site very nice Sunday Roast was most welcome ,As a dog friendly accommodation it is just perfect thank you for a very pleasant stay we hope to see you again soon

The property

This terraced holiday home is set within the grounds of Honicombe Manor Holiday Park, set in the Tamar Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The open plan living area is great for families and has a really spacious feel, with door that lead out onto the veranda and countryside view beyond.

With comfortable seating to cosy up on in the evenings and a well equipped kitchen to rustle up a meal, the living area has all you will need.

Enjoy the Veranda whilst the sun is going down and maybe an end of the day tipple.

There are two ground floor bedrooms together with a bathroom and separate WC.

Just a short stroll away are two swimming pools; one indoor and the other outdoor, but both heated as well as a bar/restaurant, shop and reception, tennis courts and children's outdoor play area.

During the school holidays there is a busy programme of entertainment including quiz nights and karaoke plus sporting activities including archery, rock climbing, canoeing and abseiling (subject to seasonal opening times).

A little further afield you can visit the glorious sandy beach at Whitsand Bay with dramatic scenery and sheer cliffs.

About the location

CALLINGTON

Tavistock 9 miles; Launceston 11.5 miles.

Callington is a Cornish market town, rich in mining heritage and overlooked by Kit Hill, the highest point in the area, donated to the people of Cornwall by Prince Charles to celebrate the birth of Prince William. From the top of Kit Hill there are fabulous views across south-east Cornwall as far as Plymouth Sound. Callington is set in the heart of the Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and offers a good selection of shops, inns and cafes, as well as being the home of Ginsters Cornish pasties. A few miles away, the quaint village of Calstock clings to the steep banks of the river Tamar and is dominated by the splendid Calstock Railway Viaduct, a giant 11-arched stone construction supporting one of Britain’s most picturesque branch lines running through the Tamar Valley. Other interesting places along the river are Cotehele, a beautiful historic house and gardens owned by the National Trust with a small quay and inn, and Morwhellam Quay, a theme park that staged a living history production for the BBC and where visitors can explore the rich mining heritage and watch blacksmiths, potters and craftsmen at work. The pannier market town of Tavistock is only nine miles from Callington and is well worth a visit on your way to a day’s walk on Dartmoor. A splendid base to explore south Cornwall and West Devon.
